Da gods are angry!
Da gods must be angry!
With packing winds of up to 83 kilometers (52 miles) an hour – with gusts of up to 102 kilometers (63 miles) – this is one storm that not only created havoc in its path, lives were lost, but a host of other storm related problems like floods, landslides and stranded people that its almost like one storm that enveloped the country. It even spawned tornado and big waves sa Barrio Siete ni Malen in the Eastern Visayas region. Consider the so many inter-island travelers stranded anywhere and everywhere. Weird! Weird! O! Feria!
I’m not making fun of the country’s first swine flu-related fatality. I poke fun at the fak that of all places, Swine Flu paralyzed the House of pork.
Da gods are angry!
That’s why I was on my feet asking the lord of hails kung bakit nagkaron nang hailstones “the size of corn kernels that pelted two barangays in Parañaque City on Tuesday afternoon!”. Yon ang sabi sa news.
I’m telling you! Da gods are angry! Pero, teka lang! Sinong tiga-Parañaque ang binabato nang dyos?!
As if this was not enough, nasaktan ang isang mama, nung lumipad ang isang school building at tatlong bungalow hahaha! charing lang! but this is true! they were either damaged or destroyed when a whirlwind or a “buhawi” swept through Sariaya town, Quezon province, noong Sunday afternoon.
Da gods are really angry! I guess, talagang pilit na dini-divay-divay ang Quezon.
Akala nyo ba tapos na ako? Nope. Pinamamalita ngayon sa Manila na darating daw ang isang daku! Yeap, a big one. Daku. Kaya pinag-pe-prepare ang Metro Manila for big quake where experts say that “it will be in the 7-8 magnitude and this tremor is highly probable”. Leche oo!
Da gods are really angry!
I have no clue what’s going on with all these news dahil sumabay sya sa ni-release na report nang “United Nations’ International Strategy for Disaster Reduction (UNISDR) on Monday, na sinabing the Philippines ranks No. 12 among 200 countries and territories whose populations are most at risk from earthquakes, floods, tropical cyclones and landslides.” At ano ang title na binigay saten? “RP one of unsafest places on Earth“.
Pati ba UN galit saten? Don’t tell me na nalaman nila yong World Bank contracts?!
Nami-miss ko si Tessie Tomas. Nung panahon ko sa Manila, napanood ko sya sa Makati. Sya ang aming Amanda Pineda, na inokray okray si Amado Pineda, yong weder pourkaster. Kelangan ko sya pag ganito ang mga balita.
Makinig sa Pagasa. Preparedness should be year round.
Pero kelangan nating mag-alay.

naku silver, yan din ang obserbasyon ko. dumarami ang instances ng buhawi lately.
anjan na naman pala si benigno, ano na naman kaya menhase nyan sa sang-katauhan? anyway, bakit wala parin ignore button dito. persona ingrata, hahaha.

in Philadelphia,
i have experienced several blizzards including the worst blizzard of the century in the 90′s where umabot nang 38 inches ang snow sa labas and the city was shutdown for 3 days.
wall to wall ice everywhere, halos di na kami makalabas nang bahay.
for several years now, ang snow sa philadelphia eh kakarampot na lang. minsan parang hatsing na lang.
keep safe mga kapatid! this is not good talaga!
I don’t think the gods are angry now in particular. They always have been and always will be.
Life and nature are inherently unpredictable. No amount of stability in the past necessarily guarantees stability in the future. That’s what did a lot of these economists and financial experts in. They predicted the future based on what happened in the past. It does not follow.
I read in the book The Black Swan by Nassim Taleb, the Parable of the Turkey. A turkey who gets fed by the farmer everyday would most likely believe that the farmer is his best friend and even his god. A turkey has no way of knowing what his fate will be in the hands of his “best friend” or “god” on a fateful Thanksgiving eve sometime in the future.
Just because things are hunky dory today as it has been in the past does not mean that the future will be the same.
Yan ang problema sa Pinas. It lacks resilience. It depends so much on external factors for its survival — OFW remittances, rice and corn imports, foreign investment, foreign exchange, foreign markets for its products, etc. It is also a ticking bomb. No amount of earthquakes and cyclones in its past changes its outlook to the future. It still floods in Malabon, people still throw garbage and raw sewage in already clogged esteros, substandard infrastructure gets built, forests are still cleared, people still travel on rickety ships.
And then we wonder why year after year, disaster strikes in one form or another.
“I don’t think the gods are angry now in particular. They always have been and always will be.”
Well, i don’t really mean it literally that way. I was making fun of the dire situation which we always do when I was back home just to forget super-typhoons.
I’m sure the weather imbalance that’s happening around the world is the result and/or at least caused by humans mismanaging mother earth’s resources and it’s wanton and continued disregard for environment.
And even though mahilig ako sa beauty pageant, Miss Earth is not really “it” that would help governments in the world to help in the legislation to protect mother earth.

“Yan ang problema sa Pinas. It lacks resilience.”
We’re not resilient?! Eh pano tayo nag-survive sa mga impaktong demonyong tarantadong lecheng gagong walanghiyang engot suwail [insert more nasty word here] na pulitikos na nilapastangan ang buhay naten???
Pano kami nag-survive sa Bikol na halos wala man lang kaming matinong highway instead what we have is a talahib highway?
Pano ako naka-alpas sa lecheng poverty sa Barrio Siete kung mahina ang tuhod ko’t manipis ang mukha ko? Feel mo muka ko… makapal sya…
At pano ako naka-survive sa Amerika at sinipa ang mga puting pwet at maging Reyna samantalang galing lang ako nang Barrio Siete?
Kung hindi resilience yon ano tawag nun?

“The Black Swan by Nassim Taleb”
YES. Maganda ang book na yan benigno. And here’s what my obserbation at swak sa “black swan” concept nya.
For some reason, i believe na you are familiar with derivatives. I-google mo sya and you’ll find na me mga algorithmic formula sya. I was always curious why there were physicist who were working for investment companies. Yon pala, sila yong nag-susulat nong mga lecheng formula on how to arrive at some numbers na eto ang kikitain mo after x number of years if you invest here.
Applying the black swan concept – ang problema karamihan sa mga physicist na to was that – they never imagined about subprime na yong mga pinapasa-pasa nilang derivatives eh me mga halo nang MBS – MBS na pag tiningnan mo nang maigi has some serious problems na wala sa formula nila.
Eto. How could one put one formula kung kelan male-late ang isang borrower or homeowner sa mortgage nya? Pano mo ilalagay sa formula kung mawawalan ka nang trabaho? These were the risks na hindi naisip nung mga investment analintek reviewers.
Swak ba?
Natawa naman ako sa sinabi mong “Sinong taga-Paranaque ang binabato ng Dyos? ” Taga-Paranaque ako eh… hehehe

ewan ko angelan, but i guess perception lang yan ni benigno! hehehe!
“RP one of unsafest places on Earth“.
WHAT?! Wait til they see Baltimore!

Yap! And agree!
reynz/angela, true. Pero hanggang survival na lang ba ang aspirations natin? (and when I say that, I am talking about Filipinos as a collective)
Maybe that’s the reason why we don achieve big — because we don’t aspire big.
“We don’t aspire big”
Interesting..
Bro, can you share some thoughts on how to change this mentality?
Parang ang panget naman ata kung to collectively define na Filipinos dont aspire big. Not necessarily all Filipinos naman dont aspire big.
There are Filipinos out there na maraming na-achieve and to think that some of them e baka hindi na lang napalabas sa mainstream media.
Sweeping generalizations dont make it good. It sounds like that you have a collective bias.
“Pero hanggang survival na lang ba ang aspirations natin?”
When I was in the Barrio? It was both survival and making alpas sa kahirapan which was just normal for one like moi to be in a situation like that. I had a dream kahit na hindi ako si Martin Luther King. Dahil sa hirap, it was survival, but I don’t think it was survival all throughout!
Look at me! I’m no role model pero kung ano ano na ang aking aspirations ngayon.
Maybe you don’t know too many people who lived in the Barrio who had dreams and worked on those dreams. Sabi nga ni Charice, dreams do come true. You just have to put your hands on it.
You probably don’t socialize much Benigno.
Ang daming mali mong sinabi Benigno sa dalawang comment mo
hindi resilient ang Pilipino. Naku para tayong mga ipis at mga primitive animals nakasurvive sa mga pinagdaanan na hirap ng buhay at ito nakangiti pa rin.
We only aspire for survival kamo. Speak for yourself, I think we have very highly educated workforce because we all want not just to surive but to excel in our chosen fields. Problema nga lang at walang trabaho after graduation ang karamihan. Pero I know so many people who are reaching out for the stars ika nga so where did you get this idea? Naku Benigno, stop this generalizing. It is getting tiresome.
Reynz ano ba yung tawag sa pyramid of needs? Maslow’s diba? Survival is at the bottom of the needs. I wonder why we want to survive (greater population)…Siguro dahil madalang ang incentibong umunlad sa ating bansa? Siguro dahil instead na ibalik sa tao at maging katulong ang mga namumuno ay ipapagawa muna ang kanilang mansion. Imbes na ilagay sa emergency funding, o better housing ng sambayanan? Siguro imbes na maging atraktibo ang bansa sa foreign investment ay na-didiscourage ng red tape at ng suhol dito at suhol doon na iilang porsyento lang ng mamamayanan ang na-bebenepisyuhan.
Benigz,
I disagree. Dahil kahit na saang parte ka nang Pilipinas pumunta resilience ang tema. At kahit gaano kahirap ang danasin ng mga nag-aabroad, resilience din ang tema. Diba ang resilience ay translated ng mabilis na pagbawi. Tell me one Filipino who just gave up and would not do anything about his present situation. Kahit nga nakatira na sa tabi ng riles, ayon pa rin nag-bukas ng maliit na karihan para lang mapa-aral ang mga anak. Di ba ang isa pang translation ng resilience ay kakunatan, ilang piyon at manggagawa ba sa atin ang mas makunat pa ang balakang sa tira tira kendi sa pagtratrabaho para lang matapos ang project at maka-pagdala man lamang ng pancit sa hapag-kainan.
Kapag bumabaha ba ay di na sila papasok sa trabaho? O kaya naman kapag natanggay ng hangin ang bubong ay di na sila hahanap ng yero at gulong sa kanilang bubungan.
Talk to be about resilience kapag naranasan mo nang tunay na maghirap. Yung tipo bang wala ka nang makakain at nangangatok ka sa kapit bahay para humingi ng bigas dahil di ka na pinapautang sa sari-sari store. Talk to me about aspiring big kapag darating na naman ang tuition fee increase. Talk to me about fancy books kapag pasal na ang tiyan sa paghihintay ng kasunod na pagkain.
Then maybe, just maybe, you are right…
Mahalia,
Share ko sa iyo ang puto-pao na ito:
Maslow’s Hierarchy of Needs.
I remember nung college days ko na I am a devoted Maslonian and Adlerian.
@mahalia,
eto sya: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maslow%27s_hierarchy_of_needs
Maslow’s hierarchy of needs is a theory in psychology, proposed by Abraham Maslow in his 1943 paper A Theory of Human Motivation,[2] which he subsequently extended to include his observations of humans’ innate curiosity.
Maslow studied what he called exemplary people such as Albert Einstein, Jane Addams, Eleanor Roosevelt, and Frederick Douglass rather than mentally ill or neurotic people, writing that “the study of crippled, stunted, immature, and unhealthy specimens can yield only a cripple psychology and a cripple philosophy.”[3] Maslow also studied the healthiest one percent of the college student population. In his book, The Farther Reaches of Human Nature, Maslow writes, “By ordinary standards of this kind of laboratory research… this simply was not research at all. My generalizations grew out of my selection of certain kinds of people. Obviously, other judges are needed.”[4]
HAYY…the Gods are indeed angry. sasabihin ng eligious fantic eh this is the end of the world.
hehehe.
weird weird weird. di magtatagal eh baka mag ka-winter na dito sa pinas! hahaha.
minsan iniisip ko, dahil sa tindi ng population dito eh kung ano ano nang gingawa ng ‘powers that be’. swine flu, earthquake, typhoons, etc. ngayon umalan na ng nyebe at meron na ding buhawi. anong susunod? anthrax??? hayyy…magtatago na lang kami sa ilalinm ng lupa.
Rob Angeles, perhaps Nick Joaquin’s article A Heritage of Smallness may help understand where I am coming from, see some relevant excerpts from that essay below:
Jeepneys are an example.
They are small pwede-na-yan solutions that served a need at a point in time in the past. Trouble is, when the scale of the need changed, we did not bother to change the scale of the solution (at least not at the time when recognising the need to change it was optimal).
Got it! But there are also Filipinos out there, given a chance, can make a big difference.
One thing I observed though is that there are some, though already in the West, still carry the same kind of mentality. Only the place changed. Sad.
@benigno, try kong isa-isahin kasi i don’t know kung applicable or tama ang comparison ni Nick Joaquin:
Here, as what you wrote, he said: (A.)
This is true. In Manila, you have to be up early. In the US, eto ako: I work from 8:30-5:00. Gizing ko 6:00, alis ako 8:00.
What could it be? We have great network of highways here. I’m sure in Australia, ganun din.
Then, eto pa: (B.)
What could it be? Business here flourishes, set aside the financial crisis. Why? The government encourages entrepreneurship. When I mean, encourages, they are “friendly”. Did i say government? Yes, strike two.
And then i took note of the “WE” Ba’t sinisisi mo sa Pinoy ang mga kalechehan nang gobyerno? If the government did their part, I’m sure we won’t be doing (A) or (B).
To me the comparison does not make sense and it’s not a fair comparison, therefore, you cannot make the argument that followed.
No, Mr. Nick Q. What year was that?
2009 NY!
Sorry but not in New York City.
7:00 o’Clock is buzzling with working men and women of AMERICA.
MTA trains would tell you…
I’d also like to highlight this particular passage…
… in response to the general reaction to my assertion of our society’s lack of resilience.
To be fair, it is true, we are a resilient people in terms of being able to come out smiling even in the aftermath of grave disasters, living with poor infrastructure, decrepit facilities, no-results services, etc.
But pursuing a claim to resilience in the manner above is not too different from a cockroach’s claim to the same virtue. As the glib assertion goes, in a nuclear war, the only urban form of life likely to survive will be a cockroach. You can argue then along those lines that the cockroach is a “resilient” specie.
Indeed, we can go as far as saying that if we lived like cavemen today, no amount of natural disasters or “financial crises” would bother us.
The fact is, advanced Western societies build advanced ways of life at the risk of catastrophic collapse in the event of an unforeseen calamity. But isn’t that the same as willingly pursuing romance at the risk of catastophic pain?
Which would we rather be? A people who dreams big, ventures big, and possibly achieves big even at the risk of catastrophic failure? Or would we rather be comfy in our mediocrity and pygmy dreams and console ourselves with the promise of never having to risk failure?
-
Mahirap man tanggapin, pero I have to agree with Mr. Benigno on this. Hehehe
I have known a lot of American people who went to the Philippines and they have one common description of Filipinos: We are contented people. We don’t aspire big. I don’t know if that is an innate culture we got from the Spaniards. It is interesting to note that most of the countries that were under Spain are not doing well economically.
My two pesos worth lang naman…
I do agree with the gentleman too. Sad nga lang dahil ang hirap hanapin ng solusyon.
Except sa cockroach..
tama ka sa observation mo ressie…lahat ng bansang nasakop ng spaniards eh taghirap ngayon.
sa kaso ng pinas, di ko alam kung kasalanan ba yan ng spaniards o sadya lang may pagka-tamad ang mga pinoys dahil nga we are island people at feeling natin everyday eh bakasyon tayo sa beach?
yeah sobrang babaw ng kaligayan kaya kahit 50-pesos-a-day na kita eh kuntento na.
hayyy.
exception to the rule ako Reesie hehehe I want to be the 1st woman president of the philippines! hahaha
ANAK NANG LECHE! at ginawa mo kaming cockroaches! HAHAHA
me thinking and feeling ba ang cockroaches?!
nag-e-evolve ba ang cockroaches to have a good life? di ba they always prefer damp and well… you know more… you’ve been there! hahaha!
it’s a funny comparison pero sablay sya benigno! wala pa akong cockroaches na nakikitang naka Diesel pants na binili sa London na dating tiga Barrio Siete hahaha you know what i mean?
Metaphor lang bossing.
When I say we don’t aspire big I mean as a country not individually.
Very succinct point Rees…Amen…
A country in point, worth learning from is South Korea para medyo mas malapit. It’s not the geophysical distance as the bone of contention. It’s also about asking what kind of cultural context and models of development the Philippines is trying to pursue? It is European-centered or the American blueprint of capitalist economic model? South Korea, back in the 70s, ay halos kimchi ay hindi makaluto. They were as poor as other Asian countries. It is in insular country, reclusive for centuries and never learned the languages of conquerors. Evne their Hangeul alphabet is considered one work of cultural genius and innovation. Then they began to dream as a nation, they collectively work to industrialize the country, borrowed ideas here and there and innovate those, make them globally classy. They dream bigtime. Now, slowly, they are becoming global conquerors themselves because money and economic success brought some self-esteem, confidence and international opportunities.Their work habits is equal to their vision to become as globally competitive as Japan. South Korea is one success story worth learning from…
“Jeepneys are an example.”
Sasabayan ko to. Sarao and Francisco Motors at may katagalang namamayagpag na rin sa ating mga kakalsadahan. But how come we can’t make it as globally classy as those affordable Kia or Hyundai that South Korea struts on? I agree with regard to the tingi-tingi mentality, the collective mentality of mediocrity, the lack of vision, the flight from common responsibility to make this nation as globally competitive as possible. South Korea’s automobile industry started in the early 70s with the Pony car with a design from Italy and borrowed transmission, engine and suspension technology from Japan’s Mitsubishi Motor. Now Hyundai has all the luxury and affordable cars that crowd the global market. Their Genesis is their equal version of BMW and Benz…

Good read! Thanks to benigno!
Ten principles:
#3 …In France, the socialists took over the banks…In the US in the 2000s, the banks took over the government. This is surreal.
Interesting…
While the government is responsible for much of the infrastructure work required to grease the wheels of commerce, I continue to assert that the bigger onus is on the wherewithal of Da Pinoy to prosper in a big way despite whatever challenge we may face collectively. We need to want to achieve badly enough to actually pull it off.
Why for example does the Filipino-Chinese community (or any Chinese community all over the world), consistently fare relatively well in the game of commerce?
In the Philippines, the Chinese community were subject to the same decrepit infrastructure, the same convoluted red tape, the same moronic politics, and the same wilting climate.
And yet they achieved. All that from a people who started out as 3rd class citizens — taho and balut vendors, collectors of kaning-baboy, derided as beho, etc.
Today they control banking and finance, retail, food distribution, shipping (together with old Spanish families), and have since gained political power as well.
In Southeast Asia, the original Asian Tigers — Singapore, Taiwan, and Hong Kong are all culturally linked to Greater China (which itself is the platform culture of its offspring civilisations: Japan and Korea). Even a 2nd-rate tiger like Malaysia owes its success to its ethnic Chinese minority.
South Korea was ruled by an autocratic and corrupt government too when it was still a developing nation (some say even today). But it prospered nonetheless (and went on to prosecute and convict two of its ex-Presidents for said corruption).
i think pinoys have learned to think small, aspire small, mababaw ang kaligayahan ika nga, as a mode of adjustment, as a survival mechanism, in the face nga of the kalechehan ng gobyerno ever since the commonwealth pa. the pinoys who think big, aspire big, well, nangingibang bansa kayo di ba.
re facing challenges collectively: impossible habang we are a fragmented society, habang divide-and-rule ang modus operandi ng powers-that-be, habang we fail to speak one language that can unite the nation from aparri to jolo…

been reading BENIGNO’s comments and what i am reading is puro generalizations OF filipinos… am i reading this right???
puro Pinoy. puro Pinoy.
buti na lang Merkano na ako hehehe
@reynz,
actually yes, sweeping generalizations, para na nga siyang broken record kasi kahit anong simulan na isyu, basta critical lang siya of pinoys. ang theory ko nga eh it’s because he’s defensive about having abandoned pinas, so parang he’s forever trying to convince us, and himself, na he was right, he is right, to have left. hehe theory lang naman ng isang psychologist na hilaw. anyway, i don’t get that kind of vibes from you, reynz, or haha i wouldn’t be here

Yes, Mr. reynz, you are an example of an individual who stepped up and overcame the challenges that faced you (instead of making them excuses not to succeed.
But does that make you representative,/i> of the average Pinoy. Quite the opposite, i should think. You are more of an exceptional case, much the same way as other Filipinos who achieved things as individuals.
In Japan there are lots of homeless people that we can cite individually. But just because we are able to cite an individual Japanese bum, does not necessarily mean we can generalise Japan as a society of bums. In the same way, just because you can cite yourself and your achievements (or for that matter, any other Pinoy individual who made it big) does not necessarily mean we can generalise the collective capability of Pinoys to achieve.
“But does that make you representative,/i> of the average Pinoy.”

Mr. reynz re your comments on The Black Swan;
I can’t really claim to possess deep knowledge on derivatives, but I think I understand what they are in principle. I did write about how they played a part in this fincancial crisis here (excerpt follows below).
Kung baga derivatives are abstracted assets, abstracted because they are linked to the actual tangible asset using abstract mathematical constructs that these scientists (I think their called “financial engineers”) cook up.
I know what you’re saying about the over-reliance on algorithmic formulas.
It’s kinda like using an Excel spreadsheet. You set up all the formulas and then start creating all kinds of stuff that shift and change depending on the formulas you set up. Trouble is, if you forget to take something into account in your formulas, you lose track of how the model you built in your spreadsheet behaves.
Worse, because it is so easy to copy, drag-and-drop, and auto-fill in Excel, an otherwise small error sometimes gets rapidly propagated. Yari tayo!

@benigno,
i have an unfinished derivatives entry sa reyna elena. hopefully tapusin ko na lang kaya yun and post sa barrio.
a lot of people bank on “perceived values” nang bahay. but that was not really the source nung krisis.
derivatives actually played a big role because that was a big shady and unregulated stock market sa wall street that caused the crisis and not subprimes although un parati ang nasisi and of course malaki talaga ang subprime at ang tinamaan were working americans.
